A transmigrated woman ruined my whole family; I was reborn, seized a spatial ability, and had a full

"This old woman Cai used to wash clothes for people in town, but now she's old and can't do the work well anymore. She's raising her grandson on her own, which is quite difficult. Now she helps the family look after their house, which is a way for her to make a living."

"Here, have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up!"

Brother Qin shoved the teacup into Su Li's hand and then called his wife out to buy groceries, "A whole fish, let's treat my sister today!"

Su Li took the teacup and quickly stopped him, saying, "Thank you so much, Brother Qin. You've gone to so much trouble. There's no need for a meal; I have things to take care of at home!"

After saying that, he finished his tea in a few gulps, took his leave, and departed.

"Oh dear! You bought all this stuff from our store and only drank a few sips of water. It's so embarrassing!"

After seeing Su Li off, Brother Qin turned back into the house and immediately saw his wife looking in the mirror, admiringly wearing the pair of silver lilac earrings.

Before he could speak, his wife interrupted:

"You're so generous, girl! These earrings don't look cheap. When can you get me a silver bracelet too?"

I'll add some for you sooner or later!

Brother Qin scratched his head and smiled somewhat embarrassedly:

"However, I wasn't much of a help to them, so this gift is really too much for you..."

On the other side, on the way back, Su Li pondered what Brother Qin had said.

My second uncle's family has good taste. That house is decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, and it's very grand. Such a luxurious house must have cost at least five hundred taels of silver.

Let alone five hundred taels, even fifty taels would be enough for the whole family to save for seven or eight years.

Even if the Su family sold all their land and houses, they could barely scrape together two hundred taels.

My second uncle's family is really generous; they're so extravagant when they make a move!

Su Li's eyes instantly turned cold, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

Although reselling spatial resources can be considered a risk-free business, most of the income has probably been invested in this house recently.

But the Su family hasn't divided their property yet. Regardless of who paid for it, this house should belong to the whole family...

Back home, Su Li took out a brocade box from her bosom, handed it to her sister-in-law, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you've worked hard these past few days. The New Year is almost here, this is a little something from me, please open it and see if you like it?"

Su Li, her sister-in-law, and Tao Hua have been running a stall at the dock for some time now.

Originally, Su Li planned to split the income equally between the two of them, but neither He Shi nor Tao Hua were willing to accept it.

They said that the stall was able to stay afloat entirely thanks to Su Li's ideas, and they were just helping out, so how could they take away so much money?

Finally, at Su Li's insistence, the income distribution among the three was changed to: Su Li would receive half, and the remaining half would be split equally between He Shi and Tao Hua.

When Mrs. He opened it, she was astonished to find a pair of dazzling golden osmanthus earrings inside. She was speechless with surprise and quickly waved her hands, saying:

"This is too valuable, how can I accept it!"

You should know that when she got married, the only things her family prepared for her were two silver hairpins. How could she dare to dream of anything else?

Su Li gently held her sister-in-law's hand and said sincerely:

“Sister-in-law, you work so hard taking care of the housework every day, this is what you deserve. Besides, without you, I wouldn’t know how to make tofu pudding or roll out noodles, and our business wouldn’t be as successful as it is today.”

As she spoke, Su Li took out another box and handed it to Madam Hu, who was standing to the side. "Mother, this is for you. May you have a peaceful and safe new year."

Inside the box were a pair of delicate magnolia flower earrings, their exquisite flower shape and dazzling gold shimmering softly in the candlelight.

Magnolia flowers bloom in February, and the eighth day of the second lunar month is Hu's birthday.

Tears welled in Madam Hu's eyes: "I don't care about these material possessions, I only wish that you are all well..."

However, a few days later, for some reason, a rumor quietly began to spread in the village.

Several women were washing clothes by the river, chatting idly as they rubbed the garments.

"Have you heard? The government has been cracking down hard on bandits lately!"

Aunt Zhang lowered her voice mysteriously and said:

"It seems they've also discovered that some bandits are secretly colluding with some people here, supposedly hiding in houses in town. A nephew from a family in my mother's village works for the government, so this information must be accurate!"

Grandma Wang, standing nearby, widened her eyes and nervously replied, "This is terrible! What if it affects our village? My husband was thinking of going to town to find some odd jobs these next few days, how can we dare to go!"

Last time, the Su family, including the second son, almost didn't make it back from town alive. The second son's wife described it in great detail; those bandits killed without blinking an eye.

Aunt Wang thought to herself that she should go back and tell her husband about it as soon as possible. She couldn't let him lose his life for a few copper coins.

An older woman also came over, looking worried, and said...

"I've lived most of my life, and I'm always afraid of these bandits. They've robbed our village of a lot of grain before, and we can't afford to suffer like this again! With the end of the year approaching, everyone should be careful and stay home as much as possible..."

These words seemed to have grown wings and quickly spread to several surrounding villages.

During the off-season, villagers can be seen gathering together to discuss things under the big tree at the village entrance and beside the millstone.

The scenes of the bandits' rampage were still vivid in their minds, and the news that they might be hiding nearby only added to the panic.

"What should we do? Could there be bandits hiding in the mountains too?"

"Who knows? The world is not peaceful these days, we have to be careful. I heard that the government is determined to wipe out the bandits this time, and those who are in cahoots with the bandits will not escape either."

"In my opinion, we should keep the doors and windows locked for the next few days and avoid going out unnecessarily."

Soon, even people in Wuyang Town heard about these rumors, and the vendors, on high alert, unanimously moved up the time to close their stalls.

Besides helping Su Zhen resell supplies, Granny Cai would go to the market every day to buy daily necessities.

She had finished selecting her vegetables at a stall and was about to pay when the vendor glanced around, leaned close to Granny Cai's ear, and whispered:

“Auntie, you’d better be careful lately. I heard that the government is cracking down on bandits this time, and the scope is very wide. They won’t let any suspicious person or property go unchecked. Once someone is found to be colluding with bandits, they’ll be thrown into jail immediately! It seems that there really are bandits lurking in our Wuyang Town. You should try to stay home as much as possible.”

Upon hearing this, Granny Cai's face turned deathly pale, her hands trembled involuntarily, and she almost dropped the copper coins on the ground.

"Are you... are you serious?"

"How can it be false?"

"Okay, thank you for reminding me..." In her haste, she didn't even count the money properly before shoving the vegetables haphazardly into the basket and rushing home.

Granny Cai stumbled back to the house, her hair soaked with sweat.

She was panting heavily as she hurriedly closed the door, the vendor's words echoing in her mind, her eyes filled with fear and anxiety.
